Apparatuses and methods for limiting load current in nanosecond pulsed power sources

Described herein are apparatuses and methods for applying high voltage, high current, sub-microsecond (e.g., nanosecond range) pulsed output to a biological material, e.g., tissues, cells, etc., while preventing damage from load arcing. Some of the apparatuses and methods described herein may limit...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Described herein are apparatuses and methods for applying high voltage, high current, sub-microsecond (e.g., nanosecond range) pulsed output to a biological material, e.g., tissues, cells, etc., while preventing damage from load arcing. Some of the apparatuses and methods described herein may limit the load and pulsed power source current in case of load arcing significantly by using a transmission line (e.g., coaxial cable, twisted pair or parallel pair cables) between the pulsed power source and the load having a length configured to achieve this goal.
